County Commissioners.

The board were in session on Tuesday and
Wednesday. Present, Messrs. Griffith
(President) Cooley and Deshaue.
George II. Harlan, road commissioner of
the Third district, rendered hi, resignation
on account of business engagements, and it
was reluctantly accepted.
The Commissioners decided not to be
hasty in making new contracts for the re-
p air of the roads, but to allow the present
supervisors ample time to put them in the
condition required hy law before giving
them certificates for the present quarter,
em braciug the months of January, Febru-
AIRY and March. About $1,000 Is required
to pay these certificates and the board were
of the opinion that this amount properly
expended on the roads would put them in
good order. Supervisors are expected to go
to work as soon as the weather will permit.
Numerous claims were examined and
passed and ordered to be paid.
The board adjourned to meet Oh Tuesday
22d inst, when then will fix upon date
for disposing of the roads for the coming
year. Contracts will be made for only on
year, so that the next board aud the next
Legislature may be free to make any
changes they desire in the present system

The gay festivities of teas, parties and
weddings in and around our village,
which have been many, are nearly over
Now the voices of birds make sweet
music to shake Oft the dread of winter,
and tell us of merry sunshine, beautiful
flowers and fields to cultivate.
The goo shepherd and his noble com

time spent with them, it being a rare
treat to be in the midst of goodness,
kindness and generosity, and may the
pastor and his good wife long live to en-
joy the love of their many friends.

THE LAW SUPREME.

The people have scored two vic.
tories over the politicians lately
In Baltimore five election officers
were convicted of fraud in VOTING
forty men who were not near the
polls, three of whom were dead
The American says:
The case is one of larger meaning
than the mere conviction of five men
These are guilty but who will aues.
ton that there are others equally
guilty who escape? Who can doubt
that behind these men were Others
whose dirty work was being done :
Those whose paws were used to pplI
the chestnuts out of the fire get the
punishment, while the men who reap
the benefits of the crime 90 free and
and are even defended by those who
seek to divert the issue by declar.
ing that the city is being villified
aud slandered because honest peo.
pie are making attempts to drive out
corruption and purity the elections.
These apologists for fraud are the
worst enemies that any municipality
can have. What we want In Balti
more is more light and it is an insult
to the manhood and intelligence of
the city to assert day after day that
the people here prefer falsehood to
truth or that they are willing to be
deprived of their rights in order that
the records of a few bosses may be
whitewashed.
In Chicago the voice of the people
at the polls is more powerful and
farreaching than the Imprisonment
aud hanging of a thousand Socialists
and Anarchists. 1t is a peoples
victory over designing politicians.
